NAME
idleconn - tool for opening any number of idle connections
SYNOPSIS
idleconn <server> <port> <numidle>
DESCRIPTION
idleconn is part of httperf suite and is useful to simulate a large number
of concurrent and idle connections. It can establish a set of persistent
connections, each of which generated periodic requests to the server. The
effect is that at all times, some of the connections were active while the
rest were idle, and these active and idle connection sets kept changing with
time. (This paragraph was extracted and adapted from the article "Scalability
of Linux Event-Dispatch Mechanisms" (HPL-2000-174), written by Abhishek
Chandra and David Mosberger).
OPTIONS
server IP of the server to connect.
port Port used by server.
numidle Number of idle process to be generated.
EXAMPLE
This is a simple example how to use idleconn:
$ ./idleconn 192.168.1.1 80 100
It would open and maintain 100 idle connections to a web server, listening on
port 80, using the IP address 192.168.1.1.
